Because of what happened between us things can never be the same. (Creole please)

Because of what happened between us things can never be the same. (Creole please)
Akòz de sa ki te pase antre nou, bagay yo pap janm menm ankò.

Hi Thanks again for your help! Could you translate this conversation for me?Neg yo pa gen chans papaa.Ou dwe di ke yo trayay do pou malchans you.Kisa ki pou fe yo egare la-a.Gade dega ou fi koze e li pa manm we you, se saki pi komik.Ah yo pa

(Note: I will not translate these phrases literally. Dakò?)

Nèg yo pa gen chans papa.
Those guys are so unlucky.

Ou dwe di ke yo travay do yo pou malchans.
One would say that they work to bring misfortune.

Kisa ki pou fè yo egare la a?!
What on earth make them so dim-witted?!

Gade dega on fi koze e li pa menm wè ou.
Look at all the trouble this lady caused and you haven't even met her.

Se sa ki pi komik.
That's the most hysterical of them all.

Question: How accurate is the Haitian Creole Version Bible translation? Or what original translation is being used in the HCV?

The most recent Bible that I carry is written after the Hebrew and Greek text.
It is translated after the King James Version.

This Bible is written in the New Creole linguistics.(Nouvo òtograf Kreyòl la)
It's the 1999 Edition.
The previous edition is also translated after the King James Version.
Thanks.
